<p>Remember that you will NOT graduate unless you put yourself on the list during your last semester. There is no system that looks at your requirements and would recognize you were ready, then automatically report you to some administration to cause you to be forced to graduate. </p>
<p>The only mechanisms that exist are the ones that block further registration after you hit certain maximum unit levels defined by your college and of course depending on whether you have more than one major. Up until you hit that wall, you can keep reporting for additional semesters. Not sure about finaid limits, other than probably eight regular semesters, but you are the one that decides if Fall or Spring is your last semester, simply by declaring yourself a degree candidate in the semester you want. If you are not a candidate and not yet exceeded the unit maximums, you can register and attend classes to your heart’s content.</p>
<p>AP credits do NOT count towards the unit maximum cap, only units taken as a college course.</p>
